After he pushed the envelope of computer-generated special effects in The Abyss, director James Cameron turned this hotly anticipated sequel to Terminator into a well-written, action-packed showcase for advanced special effects and for one of the most invincible villains ever imagined. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a legitimate sequel: there's more story to tell about a hulking, leather-clad android (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who arrives from the future to protect a rebellious teenager and future leader (Edward Furlong) from being killed by the tenacious T-1000 robot (Robert Patrick), whose liquid-metal construction makes him seemingly unstoppable. The fate of the future lies in the balance, with Linda Hamilton (who would later marry her director) reprising her role as the rugged woman whose son will change the course of history. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker
The killer cyborg who was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original "Terminator" (1984) has returned-only this time he's the hero. The first film, which was written and directed by James Cameron, is one of the genre-movie classics of the eighties: a lean, witty science-fiction movie without great pretensions to significance. The sequel, also written (with William Wisher) and directed by Cameron, is far less satisfying. The picture is full of spectacular action sequences and dazzling special effects, but the narrative doesn't have the snap of the original's: it's lumbering and monotonous, and it carries a heavy-handed anti-nuke message. The old, Schwarzenegger-model Terminator (the T-800) had been superseded by a more advanced model, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), who is sleeker and more versatile. T-800, who represented the ultimate in destructive technology in the first film, seems almost human here: compared to T-1000, he's a vulnerable guy (or guyoid). The whole movie is based on the insane conceit that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the underdog. That a stretch. Also with Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, and Joe Morton. Effects by Stan Winston and many, many others. -Terrence Rafferty

Customer Reviews

Great Transfer, Great package!
What a great film to get at such a low price. There was a real fast delivery. This Extreme edition of T2 consists of
disc 1 featuring extended edition of the film in obviously different better transfer than on ultimate edition and disc 2
featuring two short documentaries and T2 High definition which is not playable outside US and Canada. I'm from Europe
and cannot obtain some kind of a license for playback of the HD portion. This extreme edition is worth having because of the
sharper image of the extended edition of T2, but those fans who seek documentaries and interviews better look for Ultimate edition.
In my opinion a true Terminator fan must own both editions. Also the packaging of this edition is much better than of
the ultimate but it's a shame that there's no booklet. I guess you get what you pay for, but still this is a must-have.

Excellent Copy of Excellent Movie
Terminator 2 is arguably Schwarzenegger's most famous role, and the plot by now is fairly well known. In the original Terminator, Schwarzenegger had been sent back to kill Sarah Connor before she could give birth to her son, John Connor, who would destory SkyNet in the future. The plan goes awry when Kyle Reese not only sucessfully protects Sarah, but fathers John. In Terminator 2, SkyNet tries again, this time with Schwarzenegger's Terminator character playing the role of protector.

Considering that this film was made in the early 90's, I was astounded by the quality of the transfer. Do note that this does not have any of the deleted scenes or such from the (many) DVD versions -- but nevertheless, the image and audio quality was superb, and an excellent polish to a great film.
